How do other people wash the microfibre pads from mops? I am not keen on putting them in the wash with clothes but don’t want to put them in the wash alone?

Just soak them overnight then put them in a wash.
You must not use fabric conditioner.

Mine go in with the washable doormats and dog drying towels.

I hand wash mine.
The thought of putting filthy mop heads in the washing machine makes me feel a bit sick.

I certainly never put mine in with clothes but I usually have a collection of dusters to join them on a hot wash. I can't get mine clean enough by handwashing but an overnight soak is a good idea.

What a coincidence, just washed my floors and had the same thoughts. They are soaking in washing powder in the sink, will rinse and line dry but a good tumble in the machine would be best.
Same problem with cleaning cloths.

I have a cleaner and I insist she uses a sufficient number of cleaning cloths so I add my "gardening" trousers and items like that, and I pop the lot in the washing machine. I would never add clothes either.

I have saved a fortune as I have not used fabric conditioner for many years.
